It is unknown at present whether the edit will be undertaken in other broadcasts around the world, or if this may impact the DVD/Blu-ray release of the episode in the future.

Update: BBC Worldwide for Australia and New Zealand have confirmed that both ABC and PRIME will be broadcasting the edited version of the episode.

This episode isn't the only one this series to have received the editing treatment. The South China Morning Post has reported that series premiere Deep Breath was edited for its broadcast on BBC Entertainment in the Asia-Pacific region in order to ensure it met with broadcasting standards of all countries served by the channel regarding the depiction of same-sex relationships - with the moment where Vastra kisses Jenny to enable her to breathe being removed in this case.

Images from the third episode in the new series of Doctor Who, Robot of Sherwood have now been made available from the BBC, which as well as the main cast also feature guest stars Ben Miller as The Sheriff and Tom Riley as Robin.

Doctor Who Into the Dalek had an Audience Appreciation Index score of 84.

The Appreciation Index or AI is a measure of how much the audience enjoyed the programme. The score, out of a hundred, is compiled by a specially selected panel of around 5,000 people who go online and rate and comment on programmes.

The score is slightly higher than that scored for the series opener, Deep Breath, last week. On the main two channels only Casualty scored higher on Saturday, with 85.

Sundays showing of The X Factor had 8.2 million watching pushing Doctor Who into 22nd place for the week, with a top twenty place likely when final figures are published next week.

The Sunday repeat of Into the Dalek on BBC Three had an overnight estimate of 0.35 million viewers, a 1.8% share of the audience.

Into the Dalek averaged 1.1 million national viewers in Australia (these figures include the five major capital cities and regional and rural viewers). It was the second highest rating drama of the day (after ANZAC Girls) and the ninth highest rating program of the day overall. Excluding regional and rural viewers, this story averaged 748,000 viewers in the five major Australian capital cities and was the ninth highest rating program of the day overall in the big cities (again the second highest rating drama in the cities after ANZAC Girls). These ratings do not include time shifted viewers.

Final figures for the UK transmission of Deep Breath give the episode a consolidated rating of 9.17 million viewers.

The final figure is a much more accurate one than the initial overnight report. It includes all those who watch the programme within one week of transmission. Apart from the Christmas specials and The Day of the Doctor, this rating is the highest rating since Matt Smith's début episode The Eleventh Hour.

The final rating makes Doctor Who the second highest rated programme for the week on British television, behind The Great British Bake Off which had 9.28 million.

The Thursday late night repeat of Deep Breath had an overnight audience of 0.12 million viewers, a share of 5.9% of the total TV audience, while the Friday BBC Three showing had 0.32 million watching, a 1.6% audience share. The AI for the Friday repeat was 86.

The cinema screening of Deep Breath took £522,908 at the UK box office last weekend, making it the 8th highest-grossing feature of the weekend in the UK, despite only having one showing.

5.2 million people in the UK watched Into the Dalek, a share of 24.7% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial overnight viewing figures.

Doctor Who was the second-highest rated programme of the night, which was won by the return of the talent show The X Factor on ITV, which had 9.3 million watching. Against the Doctor, The Chase: Celebrity Special had an audience of 4.2 million.

Episode two of the new series of Doctor Who did not suffer any loss of viewers during the clash with The X Factor, with ratings stable throughout the episode. Around 2 million viewers switched to ITV as Doctor Who finished. The second-highest rated programme on BBC One was Casualty with 3.9 million watching.

Doctor Who is currently 21st for the week. Final figures will be released next week.

Radio Times has produced a free downloadable poster for tonight's episode Into The Dalek.

It has been designed by Stuart Manning, who said: Last week's Series 8 opener Deep Breath was similarly afforded a Radio Times poster, which was also designed by Manning. Whether this means there will be a poster for each episode of this series is not yet known.

In previous years, the BBC has produced movie-style posters for Doctor Who episodes, but there has been none from the corporation so far for this series. Last October, Radio Times produced free downloadable Manning-designed retro posters to celebrate the return of the nine episodes from The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.

Into The Dalek is scheduled to be broadcast at 7.30pm on BBC One.

This week's iPad and iPhone edition of Radio Times has a gallery of unseen and rare Dalek images plus an interview from 1964 with the writer Terry Nation, who created the Daleks.

The BBC have released details of the fourth episode of the upcoming series of Doctor Who Listen.

The episode will show on BBC One on Saturday 13th September. No transmission time has yet been set.
